Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 cups broccoli florets

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced into strips

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 carrot, cut into matchsticks (julienned)

2 green onions, chopped (green and white parts separated)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

3 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)

1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (optional, for thickening)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain. Prepare the vegetables by cutting the broccoli into florets, slicing the bell pepper, trimming the snap peas, and julienning the carrot. Mince the garlic and ginger.

    Marinate the Beef: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat the beef evenly and let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until it shimmers, indicating it's hot enough for cooking.

        Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the pan in a single, even layer. Allow it to sear without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop a rich brown color. Then, use a spatula to break it apart and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully cooked. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.

          Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously until fragrant and aromatic.

            Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add the broccoli florets, snap peas, sliced bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables become vibrant and tender-crisp, ensuring they retain some crunch.

              Combine Everything: Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch mixture and stir well. Toss all the ingredients together until everything is heated through and well combined, approximately 1-2 minutes.

                Finish with Green Onions: Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped green onions (both green and white parts) over the stir-fry. Toss gently to distribute them evenly.

                  Serve: Plate the sizzling savory beef and veggie stir-fry over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Enjoy this colorful and flavorful dish hot!
